Not the first time...

To give you some background, I currently work on a very very old system. To add to the challenge, before I got there we hired some consultants to clean it up... they made it enterprisey instead. The wtfs in this system are so bad, I can't even begin to put them in words, so instead I will leave you with one of the comment left by a consultant I recently found while trying to stop a new thread from be lauched with every server request... (a wtf in it self)

Actually, These conartists are not only from the US, but they are a 15 minute drive from my house. I'm debating whether to:A. Go on a hand breaking spree in their officeB. Go on a interview at their company and pull some sort of off color prank

I am leaning towards B since it won't get me thrown in jail; but I have not thought of a good prank... let me know if you have any ideas.

But any way... it gets worse. They store DataReaders (they retrieve data as you read each row) in SessionState, which made my mission to close all their orphaned db connections impossible. I had to settle for closing them when a session expires :'(
